ENCOUNTER GOD

We believe that learning and growing in faith should extend beyond Sunday mornings. That's why we provide a variety of resources for families to use at home, including engaging videos, informative parent pages, and uplifting music. These materials are designed to reinforce what children are learning in church each week, helping them deepen their understanding of biblical truths and apply them to their daily lives. We encourage parents to explore these resources together with their children, creating meaningful opportunities for spiritual growth and family bonding.

common questions

How does drop off and pick up work?

If you are a first time guest, please pre-register here. Classrooms open 15 minutes before service. Upon arrival, greeters will lead you to iPad check-in stations. After printing name tags on the iPads, a volunteer will lead you to your child’s classroom. Parents and kids have matching tags. Babies - 3 year olds are in the main building. TK and older kids are in our Kids Ministry building through the courtyard

What will my kids learn in CGkids?

Children will learn what it means to know, love and follow Jesus with biblical truths through story, in small group settings, and through play. We believe combining the light of the church and the heart of the family to lead a generation toward God, fuels faith in the next generation. We want kids to know, love, and serve Jesus and each other.

What if my kids have been sick during the week?

We aim to provide a safe and healthy environment for all children and leaders. Children left in our care must be free from medications and cold or flu symptoms for at least 24 hours.

Are there child dedications?

Rather than baptizing infants or young children, Cedar Grove encourages Christian parents to dedicate their children, birth through five years. Child dedications are for families to show their desire to raise their child in a God-honoring way. Click here to sign up your child for the next dedication service.

Do I need to register my kids?

If this is your first time at Cedar Grove, welcome! We are so glad you are here! Please register online here, which will allow you to check-in electronically, sharing both parent & child information with leaders. This includes child allergy information and your contact details.

How do you determine classroom placement?

CGkids, Preschool thru 5th Graders, are in classes based on their birthdate and grade. All children move up to their new classroom together once a year on Step Up Sunday which is the first Sunday in June. This empowers your kids to make friends and build strong relationships with both other children and leaders. Our classes are:

Babies
Toddlers
2’s
3& 4’s
PreK & Kindergarten
1st - 5th

How does CGKids ensure my kids are safe and secure?

At CGKids, safety is a top priority. When you check in, both parent & child receive matching check-in tags. Your child will wear a name tag, and you will have a parent tag with coordinating information.

All volunteers serving with minors at Cedar Grove, undergo background checks, are fingerprinted, and receive training. Our hallways are also monitored by background-checked security during each service. If we need to reach you during the service, we will text a message or come find you in the auditorium.

What if my child has special needs?

If your child has special needs, we welcome you and would love to chat with you. Please contact the church office to speak to our CGKids Director so we can work together to come alongside you and your child in the best way.

THE BIBLE

The Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, central to our faith and practice. It is without error in its original manuscripts and serves as the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct. Through Scripture, God reveals His character, His will for humanity, and the way of salvation through Jesus Christ. We are committed to studying and applying His Word, trusting it to guide and transform our lives.

GOD

We believe in one eternal God who exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the creator and sustainer of all things, infinite in power, knowledge, and presence. God is holy and just, yet also loving and merciful. He reveals Himself through His Word and works, desiring a personal relationship with each of us through faith in Jesus Christ.

JESUS

We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, was crucified for our sins, and rose bodily from the dead on the third day. Through His death and resurrection, He provided the only way of salvation, reconciling us to God. Jesus ascended to heaven, intercedes for us, and will return in glory to judge the living and the dead.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, dwells in every believer at salvation. He convicts the world of sin, empowers believers for life and service, and works to transform them, producing spiritual fruit. The Spirit equips believers with gifts to build up the church and spread the gospel. We rely on His guidance and presence to honor and glorify God in all things.

MANKIND

We believe mankind was created in God's image to have fellowship with Him and reflect His character. Though originally without sin, humanity fell through disobedience, bringing sin into the world. As a result, all people are born with a sinful nature and need salvation. Yet, God's love is shown through Christ's sacrifice, offering forgiveness and restoration to those who place their faith in Him, empowering them to live for His glory.

SALVATION

We believe salvation is God's gracious work, rescuing humanity from condemnation and granting forgiveness and eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. It is not earned by good works but is a free gift of God's grace. Through His sacrificial death, Jesus paid for our sins, satisfying God's justice. Salvation is received through repentance and faith in Christ, bringing justification, adoption into God's family, and the promise of eternal life and resurrection glory.

THE CHURCH

We believe the Church is the body of Christ, made up of all true believers redeemed by His blood and regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Christ is the head of the Church, which exists to worship God, proclaim the gospel, and make disciples. Called to unity in faith and love, the Church is empowered by the Holy Spirit to grow, serve, and reflect Christ’s holiness. It is entrusted with baptism and the Lord’s Supper as signs of the gospel and our union with Christ. We are committed to the life and mission of the Church until His return.

THE ORDINANCES

We believe Christ established two ordinances: baptism and communion. Baptism symbolizes a believer’s union with Christ and commitment to follow Him. Communion commemorates His sacrifice, uniting believers in faith and anticipation of His return.

We believe marriage is a sacred, lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, reflecting Christ’s love for the Church. It provides companionship, support, and a foundation for raising children. We uphold and honor marriage as a God-ordained institution.

THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS

We believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ, who will come visibly and bodily to judge the living and the dead. He will establish His kingdom in fullness, bringing ultimate justice and redemption. Believers eagerly await His return, when He will gather His people, resurrect the dead in Christ, and transform our bodies. Until then, we live in readiness, faithfully serving Him and proclaiming the gospel.

THE ETERNAL STATE

We believe in the eternal state, where believers will dwell with God forever in joy, free from sin, suffering, and death. This eternal fellowship will be marked by worship and perfect communion. Those who reject Christ will face eternal separation from God. Our hope rests in His promise to make all things new and establish His righteous kingdom forever.
